45th National President
(1993)Presidential Theme: We Make the Difference,
a New Dimension

Determined to strengthen
the image of the Philippine Jaycees to its constituent
chapters, the term launched the “JCP on Wheels”
national visitation program. It also launched the Privilege
Discount Network to the members and initiated relief
efforts to help the victims of the 1993 Mayon Volcano
eruption.

Vowing to help the government’s
“Philippines 2000” vision, the Philippine
Jaycees launched the “Young Entrepreneurship Program”
to help develop small scale industries. The first “Community
Outstanding Young Achievers” (COYA) was organized
this year and a “20/20 Raffle” fund-raiser
was held.

The Philippine Jaycees
was able to strengthen its membership with the revival
of 18 chapters and the chartering of 2 new ones. Apart
from its many projects, the term was able to co-develop
the Global Training School with the Japan Jaycees and
support JCI’s International Business Network Program.

Amidst the backdrop of
aggressive membership growth, the Philippine Jaycees
formed an Anti-Crime Foundation to upgrade policemen’s
benefits, as well as launched the “Save the Filipino
Youth” anti-drug and “STOP AIDS” programs.
It also renovated the JCP Headquarters and judicially
reconstituted its land title.

The year focused on the
efficient delivery of services, beginning with the creation
of the post of Executive Director. This term saw the
revival of “The Outstanding Policemen of the Philippines,”
the implementation of Project ALICE, and Project KAMPANA,
a social action undertaking against violence.

Despite the Asian financial
crisis, the Philippine Jaycees celebrated its 50th anniversary
with a grand reunion and hosted the 53rd JCI World Congress
from November 15 to 21, 1998 in Manila. The term saw
the revival of the “Voice of Philippine Democracy”
and continuation of the “STOP AIDS” campaign.

Heightened by a reawakened
public interest in the Jaycees, the term completed its
modernization program with the launching of its official
site in the World Wide Web. It also gave representation
to the Junior Jaycees in the National Board for the
first time, and allied with various foundations for
its projects.

Imbibed with a sense
of purpose, the term promoted the Jaycee movement through
press releases, publishing full-color issues of its
official news organ and a national Trade Directory,
launching the JCP discount card, linking with the Civil
Service Commission for its raffle project, and hosting
a major concert.

With
the nation facing political uncertainty that led to
EDSA 2, the Philippine Jaycees was able to rise above
partisan politics that would have adversely affected
its credibility. Despite the national organization’s
financial difficulties, it was able to plant the seeds
for many fund-raising projects for future terms.

With
the first lady National President gracing the helm of
the Philippine Jaycees, the national organization centered
on instituting new and innovative projects, such as
the “Youth Smoking Prevention” Program,
“Beyond Prison Walls” Prisoner Outreach
Program, a donation of 1,000 artesian wells nationwide.
